DON'T YOU PRETEND
THAT I'M NOT ALIVE
MY BONES NEVER ACHE
UNLESS SHE'S NEARBY
WHERE IS YOUR FACE
IN A SAFE OF DEAD TONGUES
I CAN SEE YOUR REFLECTION
IN YOUR TOTEM FIRST BORN
I SUSPECT
YOU'VE BEEN CARRYIN A PACK OF WOLVES
I REGRET
NOT KILLING YOU WHILE I HAD THE CHANCE

MAYBE I WILL ALWAYS HAUNT YOU
MARK THE SOMNOLENCE WITH TRUTH
BETTER HANG YOUR DEAD PALACE
THAN HAVE A LIVING HOME TO LOSE
IN THE RIVER GANGES GOD DAMNS MY NAME

DON'T LET THESE HANDS
SHARPEN YOUR EYES
A RASP OF TAILS

    I'm pretty sure the line "Don't you pretend" dates all the way back to Concertina on their first EP.

    "Don't you pretend Tangled in thorns, to walk unborn."
